ICC is a Kangaroo Court

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant this week. This is the first time the court has ever targeted leaders from a democratic country. PM Netanyahu responded saying: “The antisemitic decision of the international court in The Hague is a modern Dreyfus trial, and it will end the same way. It is falsely accusing me, the democratically elected prime minister of the State of Israel and Israel’s former defense minister Yoav Gallant, of deliberately targeting civilians, this when we do everything in our power to avoid civilian casualties.” Netanyahu and Gallant might have to avoid visiting certain countries in Europe and Canada as a result of the decision. It is believed that once President Trump is in office, he will target the ICC for their unjust and illegitimate ruling. This story and much more news from Israel, on this week’s Israel Uncensored, with Josh Hasten.

Hezbollah Beginning to Crack

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten – the Jerusalem Post quotes a report indicating that the Hezbollah terrorist organization is beginning to crack with many of its members fleeing their posts. Some of the terror group’s fighters have even fled to Syria with their families rather than stay and fight against Israel. The report indicates that Israel’s recent pager/walkie talkie detonation attack injured thousands causing chaos in Hezbollah’s ranks. Israel’s ground offensive in southern Lebanon has also caused them to cut and run.
As the group continues to fire rockets at Israel on a nearly hourly basis, the report provides optimism that in a matter of time, the Iranian proxy will fall.

Will Iran Strike Following Hamas’ Proposal Rejection?

Israeli officials have been taking part in talks towards a hostage deal/terrorist release and ceasefire, with Hamas once again rejecting the proposal. Will Iran strike in the days ahead now that a deal appears out of reach? It’s been around two weeks since Hamas head Ismail Haniyeh was taken out while visiting Tehran. Israel hasn’t claimed credit, yet Iran has vowed to launch a revenge attack on the “Zionists.”
At the same time, Arab terrorists continue to attack on the home-front, with a Jew murdered in a Kedumim hacking on Sunday, and Hezbollah launching rockets at the north, nearly hourly. All of these stories, and much more on today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten.

Iran’s Psychological Warfare

An Iranian attack on Israel is looming as the Mullah’s in Tehran attempt to utilize psychological warfare against the Jewish State. On today’s Israel Uncensored Josh Hasten says that flip-flopping media reports out of Iran as to when, where, or if Iran will strike Israel, are the regime’s way of trying to instill fear and panic. Nevertheless, it remains pretty much business as usual with Israelis celebrating life, despite being surrounded by murderous regimes and terrorist entities which celebrate death.

Israel Bracing for Iranian Strike

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that reports indicate that Iran and its proxies may strike the Jewish State in the next several days, as retribution for the killing of top Hezbollah and Hamas leaders. Israel took credit for the airstrike on Beirut which took out top Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr, responsible for last week’s rocket attack that killed 12 Druze children in the Golan. At the same time, top Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was sent to meet his maker after an unclaimed strike in Tehran. Iran has vowed revenge for both attacks. May G-d protect the State of Israel and the Jewish People during these tumultuous times.

Taking Out the Trash

Israel over the weekend targeted Mohammad Deif, the head of Hamas’ military wing, in an Air Force attack. While Deif’s fate remains unknown, Israel did eliminate terrorist Rafa Salama, Hamas’ top commander in Khan Yunis. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says taking out the heads of Hamas is key towards dismantling the terrorist organization’s capabilities, while it also serves as a psychological win, as those who support Hamas should know, the group’s days are numbered.

Israel Legalizes Five New Communities in Judea and Samaria

On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses how Israel’s cabinet this week granted full legalization to five communities in Judea and Samaria. While he applauded the decision, Hasten says that Israel should stress that the communities gained full recognition – not as a response to terrorist attacks or as a punishment. Rather, Judea and Samaria are the heartland of the State of Israel and the Jewish People and it’s our right to live and build in these areas.
